How come the deadlift strength standards are so much higher than squats? I find deadlifts so much harder! I've finally got it equal to my squat and now I see that it's miles off in the exrx strength standards table whereas my squat is advanced. Also, bench press looks a lot easier to hit. I'm incline pressing the advanced for reps.

Anyone else find the numbers weird or am I just an oddball?

The majority of individuals can deadlift more than they squat.

Some individuals, such as youself, can squat more or as much as they deadlift. Thus, you an exception to the rule.

Hmmm interesting. I didn't take the pause into consideration on Bench Press either which would make it a lot harder. I think my leverages are odd. My Deadlift isn't too far off a squat, a lot of lower body involvement. I think I have long legs, a short torso and quite short arms. Sumo works the best by far for me.

It's only my low bodyweight that's keeping me in the advanced for a couple. My bones must weigh nothing, no one believes me when I say how much I weigh. About 77kg at the moment but I'll be 75kg by the end of this no carb week easily, with no strength being affected.

I'm well happy my girlfriend's Squat is Advanced too, she's been training a couple of years now! I'm glad we don't train the Snatch...

yeah I'm the same, when I was at my skinniest even though I was very skinny people used to flat out call me a liar. I had to get on the scales more than once to prove I really was so light.

Did your girlfriend start training because you convinced her? It might be a good idea for a thread "How I convinced my mrs to start training"...
